I am not a fan of government shutdowns. Whatever your politics may be, as a 20 year government employee, I don’t know what a shutdown does or proves, other than hurting the folks that work for the country day in and day out.  Missing pay, and/or being forced to stay home, and all the undue stress it causes has nothing to do with whatever political argument is being made.

BUT…

What the shutdown has once again reminded Alison and I is the wonderful community you have built at CrossFit Oakdale. The generosity you have shown to our family is unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will repay you by giving you impossibly difficult physical challenges, the tools to take them on, a fun environment to perform them, and the best folks in the world to suffer at your side. Oh – and a big party once we get paid.
